YOU ARE NOW ON

THE CUTTING EDGE

On December 13, 2000, the official Vatican newspaper,
L’Osservatore Romano, under the heading, "All are called to build God’s
kingdom", published the Pope’s words from his General Audience of December
6th. The Pontiff declared,

"Those who have chosen the way of the Gospel Beatitudes and
live as ‘the poor in spirit’, detached from material goods, in order to raise up
the lowly of the earth from the dust of their humiliation, will enter the
kingdom of God….Those who lovingly bear the sufferings of life will enter the
kingdom…All the just of the earth, including those who do not know Christ and
his Church, who, under the influence of grace, seek God with a sincere heart,
are thus called to build the kingdom of God by working with the Lord, who is its
first and decisive builder."

These beguiling words are false. Each expression suggests
salvation in a way that is alien to Scripture. It is not by choosing "the way of
the Gospel Beatitudes" that one enters the kingdom of God, but rather faith in
‘The Way’, Jesus Christ and in His finished work on the Cross; "Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." It is not by
"lovingly bear[ing] the sufferings of life" that we enter into the kingdom, but
by Christ "bearing" our sins and "suffering" in our stead. It is nonsense to
imply that a man who does not know Christ can be a part of the kingdom of God.
I am the Good Shepherd and know My sheep, and am known of mine
(John 10:14). The papal pronouncement can only be understood in the light of the
Pontiff’s continued plans for World Government. His presupposition is that the
kingdom of God already exists in the Roman Catholic Church. This is consistent
with the new Catechism, "…The [Roman Catholic] Church is the seed and
beginning of this kingdom. Its keys are entrusted to Peter."

Centuries of patient aspiration, plotting, planning, and
political subterfuge have come at last to fruition, for theEuropean Union (EU) appears to be the prototype for the Vatican plans for
World Government. As one studies the official words of a previous Pope on
"Effective World Authority’’ and is cognizant of what has already happened in
the EU, one wonders just how close are we to a World Criminal Code, World
Prosecutor, and the regular branding of biblical churches as ‘sects’. What is
happening in Europe was outlined in the UK’s Sunday Telegraph, October
20, 2000,

"The Blair government is preparing to transfer huge swathes of
power to Brussels at the December Nice summit. It has signaled its intention to
give up the veto in many of the areas where it remains; to accept a written
constitution for the European Union (known as the Charter of Fundamental
Rights); to approve further steps towards a European army and police force; and
even to allow the European Union to set up its own criminal code, with a
European Prosecutor."

Since 1973 the European Common Market had by plan and purpose
become the European Community (EC). The EC further evolved into the European
Union. Now the EU is expanding its collective presence by proposing a European
army, police force, criminal code, and Prosecutor. In 1998, Torquil Dick-Erikson
of the Critical European Group (CEG), a group of academics and students
interested in scrutinizing the EU, wrote,

‘Corpus Juris’ is a plan prepared by the EU commission (XXth
DG) at the request of the European Parliament, to tackle fraud against the EU
budget. It will set up a European Public Prosecutor, on the continental
inquisitorial model, who will have over-riding jurisdiction throughout
Europe, to instruct national judges to issue arrest warrants against suspects,
have these held in custody for indefinite periods pending investigation (or
transported to other countries in Europe)¾ with no
obligation to produce prosecution evidence and no right to a public hearing
during this time."

"The cases are then to be tried by special courts, consisting
of professional judges and ‘excluding simple jurors and lay magistrates’. They
will be empowered to hand down sentences of up to seven years."

"It is the expressed intention of the EU Commision, and the
President of the EU Parliament Don Gil Robles, for this system to be an ‘embryo
European criminal code’, later to be extended to all kinds of crime. On November
8th and 9th, 1998, there was an Inter-Parlimentary
Conference in Strasbourg, where the Corpus Juris project was put forward for
informal consideration. Fourteen member states expressed general agreement with
the idea.".

It is disconcerting to note that the EU is considering
legislation that seems to resemble historic Roman Catholic Church judicial
practice. Absent is ‘due process’; gone are the Miranda Rights. Is this
coincidence? Or is history repeating itself? In centuries past, the Church of
Rome always employed governmental henchmen to hold, even bind, her people
together. She has always desired, and for much of her history has had, secular
prosecutors and an inquisitorial system to apply her penalties against what she
considered heresy. One must ask what is the ultimate purpose of the Papacy in
European and international affairs and just what is the structure of the Papacy
that would give it international political power to achieve those goals.

CIVIL SOCIETY ON THE INTERNATIONAL
LEVEL ACCORDING TO ROME'S VISION

"The Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II" sees himself as the one
capable of (if not ordained to) bringing in World Government. Through his new
Catechism he declares,

"It is the role of the state to defend and promote the common
good of civil society. The common good of the whole human family calls for an
organization of society on the international level."

And from his perspective, the "common good of civil society" is
Roman Catholicism, embraced by the rank and file; defended and enforced by civil
authorities; subject to the will of the Holy See. The Pontiff’s goal for
ecumenism plots towards world government in political, economic, and social
life. This is the way his predecessors on the Pontifical Throne also expressed
themselves. For example, Pope Paul VI in his 1967 encyclical on the topic of
"The Progress of Peoples" in an entire section titled "Toward an Effective World
Authority’’ proclaimed:

"This international collaboration on a worldwide scale requires
institutions that will prepare, coordinate, and direct it until finally there is
established an order of justice which is universally recognized….Who does not
see the necessity of thus establishing progressively a world authority, capable
of acting effectively in the juridical and political sectors?"

Who indeed! Upon hearing this statement we must cast a
backwards glance at the witness of history; for what has ever been the purpose
of the juridical and political sectors in the eyes of Rome but to function as a
secular sword, wielded at her behest! For when
she was Mistress of the world, then and only then was there to her mind a
"healthy socialization."

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AND
"HEINOUS CRIMES"

And so Archbishop Renato Martino (the Holy See’s permanent
Observer to the United Nations) on June 16, 1998, at the Diplomatic Conference
for the Establishment of an International Criminal Court spoke for the
Vatican,

"As Pope John Paul has stated, ‘Within the international
community the Holy See supports every effort to establish effective juridical
structures for safeguarding the dignity and fundamental rights of individuals
and communities. Such structures however can never be sufficient in
themselves; they are only mechanisms which need to be inspired by a firm and
persevering moral commitment to the good [who defines that good?] of the
human family as a whole.’" [Emphasis added]

The Roman Catholic Church’s historical record is consistently
one of absolute, and more often than not, deceitful tyranny, destroying rather
than "safeguarding the dignity and fundamental rights of individuals", and this
fact the Archbishop undoubtedly knows. Rome nevertheless imagines herself as the
only authority on morality. This position, so clearly codified in her present
day Canon Law, implies that the Roman Catholic Church is the one whose right it
is to define ultimately what is for "the good of the human family as a whole".
Thus it is not difficult to see that her interest in the International Criminal
Court is distinctly and solely a vested interest. Post this frightening note
upon hearth and home; the Holy See has a delegate to the World Association of
Jurists thus giving Catholic Canon Law an influence on the judiciary on an
international scale. Archbishop Martino further stated:

"Those who are responsible for violations of the most heinous
crimes which offend the conscience of the human family, the crimes which will
fall under the jurisdiction of this Court, must be made to accept their
responsibility in accordance with universal [read "Catholic"] norms…Any
structures or rules which could lead to decisions about guilt or innocence that
are based upon political rather than juridical considerations have a
questionable role in the proposed statute."

Since the Church of Rome declares that her laws, including
those defining heresy, are "irreformable", the statement that "those who are
responsible for violations of the most heinous crimes which offend the
conscience of the human family...will fall under the jurisdiction of this Court"
is broad enough to include eventually those things that Rome defines as heresy.
Biblical Christian churches will undoubtedly fall into this category, just as
they did during the Inquisition that killed 8 million Protestants! But, this
Rome will kill her billions [Revelation 13:16-18]

POWER AND
POLITICS

The Roman Catholic Church deals with nations under the title of
"The Holy See". On her web page, while commenting on the "The Permanent Observer
Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations", she states,

"The term Holy See stands for the central authority of the
Church, which transcends, even if it includes, the tiny sovereign State of
Vatican City. Thus, the Holy See represents a world wide community and not only
the citizens of Vatican City."

Distinctly, therefore, she defines herself simultaneously as
"the Holy See" and "the central authority". She then sets the jurisdiction of
this "central authority" to swallow up the " world wide community". We would be
deluded were we to imagine that only Roman Catholics are included within this
realm, for Rome’s own dogmas teach that all
humanity falls under papal sufferance. Exactly how ‘magnanimous’ and
‘beneficent’ such "authority" intends to be is a foregone conclusion. In a
concise, intense, insightful official law, the same RCC authority declares, "The
First See is judged by no one." No accountability, only tyranny: such has ever
been Rome’s stamp upon the pages of history. The Pope’s mission is also clearly
declared in his official pronouncements. He defines the Church as, "the Church
which is a ‘sacrament or sign and instrument...of the unity of the whole human
race."No doubt, to be unwilling to submit to "central authority"
would be a heinous crime offending the "conscience of the human family," and
disrupting the "the unity of the whole human race."

THE POWER STRUCTURE THAT MAKES
GLOBAL RELIGIOUS POWER POSSIBLE

It would appear that the goal of the RCC hierarchy to restore
the Holy Roman Empire is being realized on a global scale. Setting aside the
biblical and simple organizational structure of the bride of Christ, the RCC
clearly documents the structure by which she controls her own household. Her
power structure is central and totally dictatorial. "She" is a system of men,
carefully set forth in order of command, fully arrayed in clothing that signify
rank. The Pope claims absolute authority his Empire, "By virtue of his office,
the Supreme Pontiff possesses infallibility in
teaching when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the Christian
faithful...he proclaims by a definitive act that a doctrine of faith or morals
is to be held." "No appeal or recourse is permitted against a sentence or decree
of the Roman Pontiff." Thus it is here, at this point that the "dignity and
fundamental rights of individuals and communities" cease to be.

CHAIN OF
COMMAND

The government she mimics is not that of a church, but that of
the Roman Empire. Like the Imperial Rome, her power structure is similar, with
senate (curia), ambassadors, and a world net of influence. The Roman Catholic
hierarchy consists of the pope, cardinals, patriarchs, major archbishops,
archbishops, metropolitans, coadjutor archbishops, Diocesan bishops, coadjutor
bishops, episcopal vicars, eparchs (bishops of the Eastern Churches), Vicars
apostolic, prefects apostolic, apostolic administrators, and vicar generals.
Most Roman Catholic pastors or parish priests deal with the last on the
pecking-order regime, "the vicar general."

Crushed beneath this ponderous hierarchy are the nuns and
laity. As they serve "Holy Mother the Church", they obviously fail to reflect
that this hierarchy is composed solely of celibate men. "Also subject to the
Holy Father are titular archbishops and bishops, religious orders and
congregations of pontifical right, pontifical institutes and faculties, papal
nuncios and apostolic delegates." "Assisting the Pope and acting in his name in
the central government and administration of the Church are cardinals and other
officials of the Roman Curia."

IMPOSITION OF
POWER

The Roman Catholic Church imposes her rigorous religious rules
on men and upon their consciences. In that domain she claims that her Pope is
infallible, and no one can judge him. The baptized Catholic must give loyal
submission of the will and intellect to his teachings, even when these teachings
are not claimed to be infallible. Thus she decrees, "This loyal submission of
the will and intellect must be given, in a special way, to the authentic
teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff, even when he does not speak ex
cathedra..." The Roman Catholic Church enforces authority over 814,779 women who
are her nuns, 57,813 men whom she calls religious brothers, and 404,626 men whom
she calls her priests. For the nuns the vow of obedience, alien to Biblical
thought, compels submissiveness. Her Canon Law #601 teaches, "The evangelical
counsel of obedience, undertaken in a spirit of faith and love in the following
of Christ who was obedient even unto death requires a submission of the will to
legitimate superiors, who stand in the place of God when they command
according to the proper constitutions."

Obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as commanded in the Bible is
twisted in the Catholic world into obedience to one’s local superior "who stands
in the place of God." Each local superior is accountable in the chain of command
to his immediate overseer, an upward progression that ends ultimately at the
Pope. The RCC goes so far as to declare, "Religious can be coerced by penalties by the local ordinary [the
Bishop] in all matters in which they are subject to him." (Canon 1320; Emphasis
added)

Such dictates as these run contrary to the Lord’s Biblical
command to His servants:

" be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren." [Matt 23:8]

"be ye subject one to another" [1 Peter 5:5]

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." [Galatians
5:1]

In truth, the Papacy cannot point to a New Testament model for
its hierarchical structure. It also runs contrary to Federal and State law that
no foreign power can coerce U. S. citizens.

PREDICAMENT OF THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC

The following is a summary from Peter de Rosa, a RC writer:

"The dilemma of American Catholics today is simply the dilemma
of most Catholics writ large. They live under two conflicting ideologies.
Patriotism and religion have little in common....In the state, a Catholic
rejoices in openness, complete freedom of worship, democracy. He takes it for
granted that freedom leads to a deepening of the truth. He is used to his
leaders having to present themselves for his approval. He can vote them in, he
can vote them out. He demands press conferences, freedom of information, an
unfettered press that is like a second government. In the church, a Catholic has
to put up with total secrecy and lack of accountability. There are no choices,
no elections. No bishop or pope is, as far as he is concerned, voted in or out.
He has to accept what he is given. In the church, there are no press
conferences, no checks and balances, no explanations. The control from the top
is absolute."

SOVEREIGN PONTIFICAL POWER AND
GUILLABLE EVANGELICALS

Evangelicals who used to warn of a "one world government" now
seem intent to run into the arms of this "central authority". They refuse to
recognize what the RCC is, and how she operates¾ not as
a Church but as a sociopolitical empire. For example, Charles Colson, Timothy
George, Os Guinness, Richard Land, Max Lucado, T.M. Moore, Mark A. Noll, and
J.I. Packer endorsed "The Gift of Salvation" document that begins with the
statement, "We give thanks to God that in recent years many Evangelicals and
Catholics, ourselves among them, have been able to express a common faith in
Christ and so to acknowledge one another as brothers and sisters in Christ."

If Christ were their sole Lord and Master, they would not
kowtow to the system of "The Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II". This sorry state
of affairs within Christian Evangelical circles today is solid proof that the
prophesied Apostasy is in full bloom right here, right now, and with these
leaders. Who knows but that it is highly likely these Protestant leaders
who foolishly signed this Concordat above, and who have lead their flocks
into believing its principles, will live long enough to see the Roman Lion,
"roaring about, seeking whom he may devour".

THE HOLY BIBLE AND
ROME

The Holy Spirit, foreseeing all these things, as the Guide and
Comforter of the true church has graciously provided a divine answer for the
dangerous, ubiquitous, reviving Holy Roman Empire. In the Bible, the Spirit of
God has portrayed the Church of Rome as wonderful in the eyes of the unsaved
world, but deplorable as apostate. For the believers, He has broken her magic
spells, He has lifted her mask, and has written in large letters her title for
all to read: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. The true believer must compare
everything to the Word of the Infinite, All Holy, Unchangeable, All-Powerful,
All-Knowing, and All-Wise God. When confronted with the behemoth of Rome, the
confidence believers have in the Lord is similar to that of David as he weighed
the might of Goliath against the True God. "Thou comest to me with a sword,
and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD
of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied." It is the
Lord’s task to consume the wicked with His power. "And then shall that Wicked
be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy with the brightness of his coming." In the meantime, multitudes are
saved from her, "with fear, pulling them out of the fire.... " This
gracious deliverance is by the Gospel word of truth. The Lord Christ Jesus, the
Exalted Head of the Church, and His Sovereign Spirit give comfort and victory,
for "The gospel is the power of God unto salvation." (Romans 1:16).

NOW WE UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF HOUSE OF
THEOSOPHY PLAN

As I report in the Members-only seminar given on August 18,
1991, by the New England Director of the House of Theosophy, the Director
reported that the decision had just been made that the top religious leader of
the coming New World Order Religion would be the Roman Catholic Pope [Read
NEWS1052 for full details]. The Director stated also that the Pope was a "proper
receptor to the Christ" [The New Age Christ, the Biblical Antichrist]. This
designation, sought after vigorously by Pope John Paul II and promised him by
the Virgin Mary in a vision, makes the Pope the future False Prophet who will
command the same occult power as the Antichrist displays [Revelation
13:11-13]

Therefore, we have now come full circle. Now, the European
Union is establishing judicial organizations that will serve the will and whim
of the Roman Catholic Pontiff. With American Presidents Bush [Senior] and
Clinton deliberately surrendering American sovereignty to the United Nations and
to the World Court, how long before the power of Rome will extend to the 50
states of the American Union?

Now, you can understand why Pope John Paul II re-established
the Office of the Inquisition [now called the Defender of the Faith], with
Cardinal Ratzinger as its head. With all other signs that we are at the End of
the Age, this news must be greeted with extreme caution and prayerful
intercessory prayer, for the time of the "crushing of the saints" may be close
at hand.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately
protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you
to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies
to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you
have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open
the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many
times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous
times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an
eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but
have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately
ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill
your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk
of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their
daily news.
